Sailing into the sunset
One from the backlog. I took this a few years ago and loved the evening light and the passing fishingboat.
The I got distracted with other pictures and forgot about this picture.
Waterfronting
From the waterfront in Aalborg, Denmark.
Taken with the Lensbaby Edge 50
Angry Bird II
Angry Bird II
The little house on wheels
The proportions of this Autocamper seems way off, but I like that it gives it a unconventional and cozy look.
Gone Fishing 2026 (Hals in Colour pt. III)
From time to time I spend a little time on the harbour in Hals. The harbour in this little city has so many little photographic gems just waiting to be discovered, and as it is an area with a lot of activity, there is something new to discover every time.
The pier is a popular fishing spot.
Ready for Departure (Hals in Colour pt. II)
From time to time I spend a little time on the harbour in Hals. The harbour in this little city has so many little photographic gems just waiting to be discovered, and as it is an area with a lot of activity, there is something new to discover every time.
Here’s a small fishing boat that is ready to leave harbour as soon as the weather gets a bit better.
Hals (Hals in Colour pt. I)
From time to time I spend a little time on the harbour in Hals. The harbour in this little city has so many little photographic gems just waiting to be discovered, and as it is an area with a lot of activity, there is something new to discover every time.
Here a little boat named after the small city / harbour.
Cruising pt. 2
A picture from my backlog, that I’ve meant to post for ages but somehow never got around to.
A Whooper Swan (Cygnus Cygnus) swooshing across Lille Vildmose.
Where the streets have no name
Actually it does have a name, but this is not one of those streets that you instantly recall the name of, even if you know more or less every corner of Aalborg.
It was kinda bleak looking this day, which I am a sucker for.
Craftsman
One of the many skilled craftsmen you can see doing their craft at Lindholm Høje Vikingemarked.
In Bloom
Close-up of a flower.
Taken with the Lensbaby Sweet 50, extension tubes and a close-up lens, to get really close.
Trailer
I usually use either the Lensbaby Edge 50 or Sweet 50. I also have the 35mm editions, but for some reason I find them harder to use.
Here is a recent shot taken with the Sweet 35mm, that I do like 🙂
Store Torv
From a trip to Aarhus earlier this year.
Taken with the Lensbaby Edge 50.
Small World
Taken in Vester Baadehavn, Aalborg, using my Lensbaby Edge 50.
Tech meets Nature
..or the plant that felt attracted to the record player..
Flamingo Neck
Taken in Aalborg Zoo
Light in The Dark
I am still blown away by the amazing RF 70-200mm lens. Even in low light situations like here.
I have been using it for some portrait tasks as well where it was also amazing. That was more to be expected though as it is a classic use case for this lens.
New Towers Pt. VI
I took my Lensbaby Edge 50 with me on a trip to Aarhus. Like my hometown Aalborg, they like building towers as well.
Chaffinch
A male Eurasian Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs) foraging in the grass.
Løkkegade
Taken in Aalborg, Denmark with the Lensbaby Edge 50mm
Crow in the snow
We’ve had a longer period with snow than we are used to here in Northern Jutland.
The birds had to work harder to find something to eat, like this grey crow (Corvus cornix).
The door to…
Taken inside Aarhus Domkirke, using my Lensbaby Edge 50
Nice Little Penguin
There is a kind of distinguished gentleman-ish look to this guy.
Crew Only
Taken with the Lensbaby Sweet 50.
Paperplane
Taken with the Lensbaby Edge 50
Gower Street (London scenes Part XI)
Gower street, just after a shower.
Taken with the Lensbaby Edge 50
At the Station
The Train Station in Aalborg.
Taken with the Lensbaby Edge 35mm
Walk on by
Taken by the waterfront in Aalborg, using my Lensbaby Edge 50mm
Trashed
We actually don’t have a lot of abandoned, trashed building in Aalborg, but this one has been left to itself for many years and the years (and the trespassers) hasn’t been nice to it.
Vampires in the air
Found this nice shot of two de Havilland DH100 Vampires at Danish Airshow, back in 2018.
It was the last time the Danish Airshow were hosted at Flyvestation Aalborg. Then we had that little pandemic thing and after that the war in Ukraine forced the Royal Danish Airforce to prioritize other activities.
But it seems like it will return to Aalborg in 2026. I sure hope so.
Wooden Squirrel
Taken while playing around with my new RF 70-200mm f/4. I have a feeling we are going to get along really well…
Bike Shelter
Taken with my Lensbaby Edge 50
Little Godzilla
An Iguana (not sure of the exact name) that were chilling on a stump under a heating lamp in its habitat in Fuengirola Bioparc, Spain
Side street
From a walk I took on a day where I had some time to kill. So I had brought my R6 and the Lensbaby Edge 50. It is always a fun Lens to use when you are just out exploring.
Come, have a drink
A picture from the backlog. I took this back in 2023 at Lindholm Vikingemarked. I was strolling past the many tents that the participants had, to show off merchandise or just how life as a viking was back in the days. On of the tents had this little cozy corner with a table, a couple of benches with furs and these wooden goblets.
Spooked
A Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) that I spotted on one of my trips to Lille Vildmose.
It didn’t seem to mind that I was nearby, but suddenly something behind me to the right spooked it, and it ran off.
X-Mas 2025
Merry Christmas to everyone 🙂
Far from the sea
A dinghy abandoned in the dunes.. So close and yet so far away from the sea…
Bullseye
Originally this was taken just to document that my daughter really did score a bullseye. But it ended up looking quite nice, so I decided to show it to the world as well 🙂
Arrival
A tall-ship arriving at Aalborg Harbour, during Aalborg Regatta 2025. Also me attempting to get back to my black and white roots 🙂
The Walkie-Talkie (London scenes Part X)
The Fenchurch Building, nick-named The Walkie-Talkie.
Taken with the Lensbaby Edge 50.
Pipe
A little detail I caught during Aalborg Regatta 2025, while playing around with the RF 70-200mm f/4.
Buzzing the tower
A big seagull which seemed to have seen a bit of action, made a low pass over me in the evening sun. Always exciting, as seagulls can be quite territorial at times and have a tendency to “jettison the cargo” when flying over you. This one kept the bomb bay closed though 🙂
Heads will roll
To keep up with the Halloween spirit I would like to present: A bucket of heads.
Emerald dove
An Emerald dove (Chalcophaps indica) posing for a portrait in Randers regnskov, Denamrk.
The Dock Job
A small tug moored at the pier in Hals harbour, probably waiting for an overhaul.
